Using sizeof(dst) for the "size" argument in strscpy() is the
overwhelmingly common case. Instead of requiring this everywhere, allow a
2-argument version to be used that will use the sizeof() internally. There
are other functions in the kernel with optional arguments[1], so this
isn't unprecedented, and improves readability. Update and relocate the
kern-doc for strscpy() too, and drop __HAVE_ARCH_STRSCPY as it is unused.
Adjust ARCH=um build to notice the changed export name, as it doesn't
do full header includes for the string helpers.
This could additionally let us save a few hundred lines of code:
1177 files changed, 2455 insertions(+), 3026 deletions(-)
with a treewide cleanup using Coccinelle:
@needless_arg@
expression DST, SRC;
@@
strscpy(DST, SRC
-, sizeof(DST)
)

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
